168 children killed in drone strikes in Pakistan since start of campaign

This isn't even a new story, or the most recent count. The article is from August, 2011 ...

In an extensive analysis of open-source documents, the Bureau of Investigative Journalism found that 2,292 people had been killed by US missiles, including as many as 775 civilians.

The strikes, which began under President George W Bush but have since accelerated during the presidency of Barack Obama, are hated in Pakistan, where families live in fear of the bright specks that appear to hover in the sky overhead.

In just a single attack on a madrassah in 2006 up to 69 children lost their lives.

10. Didn't see that one

But I think the timing is appropriate. The way people on this forum are feeling right now, is the way people in Pakistan (and other countries) feel when it is their children. There isn't a more appropriate time to create some empathy.

11. Alert results ...enjoy.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Hey ya "newbie" ...Someone should alert on you for calling someone a troll instead of debating the op. Don't waste another jury for your BS.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: me too.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: So sorry the person who alerted is tired of seeing how we're increasing terrorism by killing children. There are no violations I can see in the post even if it is based on old news stories. Will it be inappropriate to cite the killing of a whole kindergarten class in a post or news story a year from now?
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Bullshit alert. You don't get to hide everything that you disagree with because it comes with a low post count. I hereby propose that 3 failed alerts within a week should result in a revocation of your alerting privileges.

40. How much attention do you think Pakistanis are paying to Sandy Hook?

42. It depends on where ...

In the regions of Pakistan that tend to get bombed there is little/no media (no electricity, no television, maybe radio) but outside of there, quite a bit. It's leading international news ... all around the world.

But when it happens elsewhere (unless it's Europe) it barely makes US news.

23. The slaughter of innocents is an outrage against humanity

24. Thank you

I'm neither a troll, nor am I 'anti-American'. My hope was that people might pay a little more attention the next time it's someone else's children, even if they aren't American (and you can't blame the NRA).
